27 Things To Do With Your Kids On Christmas

We are always looking for loving and fun activities with our children. The holidays are no different. No matter what your family structure; mom and dad, single mom, single dad, two dads, two moms or any other loving situation, celebrating Christmas is an opportunity to create traditions that will last for generations. Here are a few from our family to yours.

Make up a song about anything they want. Ours is about a happy horse who first jumps in mud and then jumps in water. Works wonders with getting them to bathe.

Make snow angels or mud pies, jump in piles of leaves and surrender to the rain.

Play board games like Clue (we like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” version), Monopoly, Apples to Apples or Poker.

Lie on the floor, grab their hands, put your feet on their bellies and make them fly. Laughter will most assuredly ensue. After they get past the fear of you dropping them.

While making the bed, have them lie on the bottom sheet and repeatedly lower the top sheet over them while revealing a different funny face every time you lift it. There will be shrieks and giggles.

Piggy-back rides on the sidewalk in front of your house. Invite the neighbors to join.

Speak with British accents (or American ones if you’re British) and sing Christmas carols loudly and proudly with operatic voices.
